57. Photoshop: This programme helped me directly in the construction of everything I produced as before I could put a certain piece of work together I usually had to put my photographs into Photoshop to make sure they were in the right format and right specifications for what I wanted. At the start I only had a basic knowledge of how to use this piece of software, which was enough at the time, but by the end i had a real understanding of all the different things i could do in this one programme.

59. Internet: The internet played a key role in the planning and research for my coursework. I looked at numerous different newspaper websites to try and find out what mastheads and stories were the most popular before I even started to make anything.
